HUMORS
And all Skin and Scalp Diseases
Speedily Cured by Cuticura.

Our little son will be four, years of aye on
the 18th inst. In May, 1882 he was attacked
with very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in II physician VINO treated him
for about four weeks. The child received III
tie or no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out. supposed 10y the physician to be
hives i'm an aggravated form. became larger
IN blOtCheS, and more and more distressing.
We were frequently obliged to get mp in the
night and rub him with soda in water, strong
lnimcnts, etc. Finally, we called other ply
siCians, until no less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
the 2Uth Of last July, when we began to give
him CUTGCURA RESOLVENT internally, and the
CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally, and
by the last August he was so nearly wen that
we gave him only one dose of the ResOlvent
about every second day for about ten days
longer, and he has never been troubled since
with the horrible malady. In all we used less
than one half of bottle of Cuticura RcsOlv-
cnt, IA little less than one box of Cuticura, and
only one cake of CutiCuTa Soap.

Is blessing for which thousands of our dys-
pCptic cOuntrymen and women sigh in vain,
and to obtain which swallow much medicine
unavailngly. For no aimcnt-prObabIy- arc
there so many alleged remedies as for dys-
pcpsia. The man of humbug is constantly
gluttcd with the dollars and dimes of those
who resort to one nOstrum after another I'm
the vain hope of obtaining relief, at least,
from this VeXatiOus and obstinate malady.
Experience indicates HOstetter's Stomach
BittCrs as a means of Graduating dyspepsia,
in which firm reliance can be placed. No
remedy has in three decades and over estab-
lished such n reputation, none has received
such unqualified professional sanction. 1t is
an admirable invigOrant, because it Cnriches
the blood, and not only this, bat it thoroughly
regulates the bowels, kidneys and bladder.
The nervous symptoms are usually relieved
by the medicine. S-l9-6t.

Interview With Senator Lucas.

The New York World prints to-day
an interview with Senator Daniel b.
Lucas, of West Virginia, revised by
him, iii which he announces his plan
of action in case the present extra
session of the Legislature shall elect
United States Senator. In that
event there will be contest before
the United States Senate, probably
unprecedented in it's history-the
contest of two members of the same
party for seatgin the Senate. Mr..
Lucas said to the World correspond
ent: s'No wcll-informed, intelligent
person disputes my title to the seat
under the appointment of the Cover
nor. Should the present session elect
another, my own duty will be plain.
AS the appointee of the Governor,
clothed with his commission or GER
tlf1cates, which by its express terms
continues my incumbency until the
next meeting of the Legislature. of
said State having authority to fill said
vacancy will maintain my own title
through every yicissitude or contin-
gency, because by this course alone
can 1 uphold the constitution of my
own State and carry out the spirit
and intention of the trainers of the
constitution of the United States.

West Virginia Legislature.

A determined effort was made by
Col. Chew in the House Tuesday af-
ternoon to rush through Ell. B. No. II
the Interstate Commerce bill, with
State application, which was that
morning reported back TO the House
without recommendation. He sue
ceeded in having the Constitutional
| rules dispensed with and having it
read by its title the first time, but
making the same, motion for a second
reading, was antagonized by Mr..
Kidd, on theground that inasmuch as
it was held that this is verbatim
copy of the Interstate Commerce
bill, altered only for State application,
and it is bill which is not under
stood, and it would be unwise to rush
such legislative measure through.
Col. Chew defended his position
and the bill by reading long extracts
from, Senator Camden's speech on the
Interstate bill and Henry G. Davis
speech on the railroad question.
This caused Mr.. Hagans to rejoin
that as it had been taught that these
two gentlemen were monopolists, if
such was the case and they desired
it, there seemed that according to the
idea advanced by those claiming
them to be monopolists that this
would be a measure the people ought
not to have.
The suspension of the rules was
lost by vote of Al to 20.
In discussing the railroad bill, Del
egate Chipley expressed himself as
being of the opinion that the reason
he was kicker, was because he was
born in jefferson county.
Mr.. Gettinger's resolution provid-
ing for joint committee to consider
a proposition from the holders of Vir-
ginia deferred certificates was re-
jected.
In the House, on Thursday, upon
motion of Col. Chew the rules were
suspended by a vote of 50 80 II to
consider II. B. ~, reported back by
the Railroad Committee without re-
commentator. Upon further motion
the bill was tabled until 2:30 that
afternoon.
Upon rcassembling, Col. Chew
moved that the Constitutional rules
be dispensed with and II. B. ~ be
considered. The rules were so dis
pensed with and after considerable
argument. the house declined to take
up the bill on its second reading, by
a vote of Al yeas to 20 noes.
A resolution indorsing the Inter
State Commerce Bill, and rendering
thanks to representative of this State
in Congress, was passed by both
honscs.
1t was expected that the LegisIa-
ture would adjourn last night.
